Thanks for the responses folks. Yikes Bluesman that's pretty discouraging. I, like you have a limited range of motion. I can raise my arm up only enough to apply deodorant after showering. My GP has called for an appointment with an ortho for a steroid shot so I am on a waiting list which other contributors from Canada accustomed to our medical system can probably relate to. I think you have to be near death before you become a priority.
